A Visit to Mount Mansfield Slide.

BY the courtesy of II. " Leach, ESD,
general passenger agent Of the Burlington
and Lamoille railroad, a paItYo f gentlemen
from this city made a trip few days ago
to the Mount Mansfield slide. They left
here ON the 10 a, m. train, took dinner at
the Cottage House, Jacksonville, and after
a delightful drive over the hills, and through
Pleasant Valley reached the slide about p.
M. Here the sight is wonderful and grand
indeed. The slide started in a depression
two miles up the northwest slope of the
mountain. The mass Of water, rock and
earth that tore its way down through the
gorge was in many places six or eight rods
wide and thirty feet deep, as was shown by
the marks upon the trees standing beside its
track, Tall trees two and onehalf feet in
diameter, were taken up bodily, stripped
entirely of their bark and branches, and
carried out upon the fields below or driven
into the earth Huge rocks were torn from
the sides of the mountain and carried along
with the fool.
At the foot of the mountain, directly in
front of the slide, stands the house If Mr..
STANLEY, which was so miraculously saved
10y dam which formel a little above it
and divided the slide so that it passed on
either side of the house and far beyond it
Though the slide occurred in June the ev

The people of Montgomery Centre are
greatly disturbed by the reports OF the
continued stoning of house inhabited
by family named Fuller, the manifesto
tions having continued for several week 5,
to the almost complete humiliation of
the windows and other fragile external
appendages of the establishment. Wo-
men in the neighborhood did not dare to
90 on the street after dark and no one
could solve the mystery Finally the
town authorities investigated the matter
and found that the wife and one Of the
sous Of Fuller were responsible for the
disturbance.

a Question of Fire and water.

To the Editor of the Free Press:
Dear Sir-lt seems as though the tire Of
Friday last should receive more than a
mere passing note. Tthe fact that a dwelling
in this city can be burnt flat to the ground,

the city as thickly settled as tina portion is,
should be supplied with a main larger than
three inches and that the hytlrants should
be nearer than 1000 feet apart, but such

men trying to wet the roof of little story
and half house having abandoned the hope
of saving the burning building and not be
ing able to do it without the aid of a ladder.
The little force which we have on our three
inch main being spent in driving the water
through the nearly 1000 feet of hose which
they were obliged to use in order to reach
the fire

of being "A victim of the same Circumstance,
